Thanks! \usepackage{etex} as the 2nd line of my document solved the
problem. or, rather, "hid" the problem.
I've attached some sample output. Previously, I couldn't do more than 6
bars without running out of counters. But that's bad- because I want to
be reusing the same counters, not creating new ones. The code that
generates the error is basically a single function call, so the line
number doesn't help much. I'll look at \errorcontextlines and see what
that tells me.
I guess I'll spend some more quality time with the TeXbook.. But for now,
the problem is in hiding once again.
